(Requests For Comments)</font></b></center>

<p>Many specifications for the Internet are published as so-called "requests
for comments" or "Internet drafts". They can be browsed and searched via <a
href="http://www.rfc-editor.org/">www.rfc-editor.org</a> and <a
href="http://www.ietf.org/">www.ietf.org</a>. I've collected some RFCs here in
the hope that you need not search as long as I did. :-)</p>

<p>If the link to a draft on the IETF server doesn't work any longer, it often
helps to increment the draft number in the URI once or twice and retry; old
versions of draft documents are removed from the server.</p>
